Be Welcome.

Here it is all about dance - contemplated from many different angles - and about looking at things differently.

... Oh my!3

A few weeks ago, I published a video of the above-mentioned pas de deux.

I must say that I forgot to write its name. Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa…

I could not have foreseen the number of E-Mails asking me what was this piece’s name. Although very happy that so much interest still exists in the Ballet World, I was quite surprised that this very special pas de deux, this lovely piece is (nowadays) practically unknown to many… or am I seeing this through a wrong perspective?
